According to a report by Daily Record, Rangers manager Steven Gerrard has revealed that midfielder Ryan Jack is close to agreeing on a new deal with the club.
The Scotland international, who arrived at the Ibrox from Aberdeen back in the summer of 2017 on a free transfer, still has two years left in his contract. However, the club want him to sign a new deal. (h/t Daily Record)
Jack has been one of the bright sparks in the Gers’ midfield since his arrival. Under Gerrard, he has grown as a player and is one of the integral parts of the setup at the Ibrox.
It is no coincidence that the 27-year-old has featured in 16 games in all competitions this season and Rangers have made a strong start to this campaign on all fronts.
Below, we analyse his game in depth and conclude as to why the club are right to contemplate offering a new deal:
Jack has the quality to continue his good work
Ryan Jack is a prodigious midfield player, who has been consistently solid for Rangers for some time now. A central midfield player by trade, he is capable of operating as a wide midfielder or as a right-back if required.
The former Aberdeen captain has scored a goal and supplied two assists this season, along with putting up some commanding performances in the midfield with/without the ball.
In terms of his attributes, the Scotland international is a physically strong player and can pass the ball well. In addition to being a good dribbler, he also reads the game well from a defensive point of view and has a good turn of pace to boot.
